they are similar, but the 02-03 rims spokes have a little bit more clearance for the caliper, allowing the 6th gen setup to clear. The 6th gen calipers will NOT clear the 00-01 wheels.

I heard (but have not been able to confirm) that the AE wheels are a different size than the std SE wheel. Will the AE wheels clear the caliper too?

Thanks
